    Main Research Fields

    My main research interests involve observations of massive galaxy clusters.

    • Galaxy evolution within the dense cluster environment
      • UV/IR observations of star-forming cluster galaxies
      • "Jellyfish" galaxy morphologies
      • Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and their connection to cluster-scale gas properties
      • Resolved spectroscopy of quiescent cluster galaxies
    • Exploitation of the gravitational lensing effect of galaxy clusters to observe high redshift galaxies
      • Herschel FIR surveys at high redshift using lensing
      • Spatially resolved ynamic and compositional analysis  high redshift using submm interferometry

    Through my dual roles as Ariel Science Operations Scientist and Ariel Archive Scientist, I am becoming increasingly interested in the atmospheres of exoplanets.
